Can X/Qt be used as an interface with Perl? I thought that it was strictly C++.

Thanks for the replies.
OK, this guy doesn't have java installed. The reason that i wanted the runtime is for my own applications. I know that I can install Perl. Does anyone know if I can install the Tk module? I'd rather do that then fiddling with java anyway. Also, if I'm reading correctly, the suggestion to install OZ 3.1. It's currently at 3.1. I'll read through the link that dougeeebear listed. This looks like a great little machine. Why??? because I can actually do something with it. LOL! Anyone interested in an iPaq?
Actually, I just found OZ 3.5.1. at openzaurus.org. I think that I'll try that load.

Thanks. When I was buying the SDcard, I figured that I might as well get the big one now.... I'm building a new PC, so I just sort of snuck it in!
So, it sounds like I should wipe it clean and start with a fresh install of everything. I'll have to read up on the install/upgrade that dougeeebear suggested.
If java was already installed, how would I know? I did a find and found a couple of jar files in the /home directory, but no java or jeode executables.

Hello All!
Being a UNIX/Linux geek for the past 12 years, I finally broke down and purchased an SL-5500. This was used and I found it at a decent price. I was wondering a few things.
First, I do not have the CD that was originally supplied, so I don't know what was on it. I only have the start-up guide. I see that the previous owner has some stuff hanging around.
Here are a few questions that I have. Sorry for all of the newbie questions.
Should I push the reset button to reset the Zaurus? From what I have read, it will take me back to a base system. I would lose all configuration and any add-on software.
I purchased a 1GB SD card and a CF ethernet adapter. Should I configure the SD as ext2? This card will not leave the Zaurus.
I have found that Sun provides java for the Zaurus. http://developers.sun.com/techtopics/mobil...cles/ztutorial/
Should I install this and follow the instructions at Sun's web site?
I see a directory called jeode that contains an icon called jmaps, but it doesn't do anything when I try to run it. How would I know if jeode java is installed? Would I be better off with Sun's java?
Thank you for any replies and advice.
